Pay attention to the trigger warnings. Your mental health matters. This is a dark book with a lot of trigger warnings and some hypocrisy. As a horror book and horror movie fan, I enjoyed this book and liked the spice.

3.75

The first 45% of this book is not a dark romance, it's just dark. Addie finds herself in an absolutely terrifying situation that is very hard to read about. The only reason I was able to keep pushing through was because I knew eventually the author was going to get her and Zaid back together. The second half of the book brings back the spice that I came to expect after reading the first book. However, the depiction of the Romance takes an especially dark turn in this novel. Obviously, Addy and Zaid have never had a normal relationship, but the depictions of violence against each other in this book were perhaps a bit too dramatic. I am not a fan of reading about knife play, so most of the spicy scenes were not for me. Overall, I really enjoyed the ending and I'm glad that Addie and Zaid got there "happily" ever after.

This book was a lot better than the first one! I can tell HD Carlton put a lot of effort into this story and the dialogue/thoughts of each character. I felt like the first one was a little cringe, but this one was a lot better in terms of cringe levels. Still a little bit, which is why I gave it a 4.75 instead of a 5. For example, “it’s so quiet, you could hear a mouse fart.” Is not something you’re expecting to see in a dark romance novel? Just my opinion, but she could have left that out. Overall very good and I will be continuing to read more of her books!
PLEASE make sure to check trigger warnings before reading. You SHOULD NOT read if you have literally any triggers.

The first book was fun. This book felt rushed and the author really needed to do some basic research into recovery from sexual violence and PTSD.
